The countries have faced each other before in the Olympics when they met at the Barcelona ’92 games, Spain winning 2-0 at the Mestalla before going on to claim the gold medal under former Real Madrid defender Vicente Miera.

For this first warm-up game Milla has selected 21 players, the most notable inclusion being that of Rayo Vallecano goalkeeper Joel Robles who has been drafted in due to an injury doubt over David de Gea. The Manchester United man, however, has still joined up with the squad, as is the case with Benfica striker Rodrigo Moreno who has also arrived suffering from an injury.

Besides the 12 who were victorious in Denmark, Milla has included players in tremendous form this season such as the Athletic Bilbao pairing of Ander Iturraspe and Óscar de Marcos and Chelsea’s Oriol Romeu.
